The final solution was pre-colored to match the brand’s existing color palette and eliminate the need for secondary processing steps.

Although PVC is one option, this manufacturer needed a colorable, drop-in replacement for PC/ABS. From there, the Avient team identified material options that offered high flame retardancy and finally, requirements for processing flexibility and colorability were applied. The results showed the Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient also used its custom color matching capabilities to provide pre-colored material that simplified molding, while the material’s wide processing window helped accommodate a variety of molding environments. * V0 @ 1.5 and 3.0mm FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) TENSILE STRENGTH RETENTION AFTER 7 DAYS EXPOSURE Both materials were tested according to ASTM D543 for 7 days.

ECCOH formulations also span the full range of processing options, enabling customers to match their production environment needs for heightened efficiency.

Other radiation-shielding grades are available that match the density of lead (11 gm/cm3).

Facilitated lightweighting with a 50% long glass fiber PA66 thermoplastic that matched the performance of the incumbent metal part

Working together, teams from both companies created a customized TPE material that matched the performance of the Brooks TPE blend.

Recently, many TPEs have been uniquely developed to bond to specific substrate materials based on surface energy or polarity match between the elastomer and the thermoplastics. Most of the new TPEs are designed based on the concept of matching the surface energy between the TPEs and the substrates. Figure 1 shows the surface energy match of various thermoplastic elastomers with rigid thermoplastics.
